Update: Today, the Georgia Supreme Court issued an order directing counsel for the state to file a sworn affidavit providing a “complete explanation” for the filings that included non-existent cases and other errors.

I watched The Man Called Flintstone Wednesday and so it made me binge the Derek Flint movies

Finally announced! This has been a major work, doing all three volumes for a single release. It is SPECTACULAR!!!! @goutanabe2045.bsky.social @darkhorse.com

This is what Tolkien studies is like.

I analyzed the Proud Boys donor list. The most common occupation was real estate (realtor, mortgage broker) — the same parasitic class that was over-represented among Jan 6th rioters.

年初に伊藤尽先生のエルフ語入門の講座を受講して、トールキン作品における言語の重要性を改めて感じさせていただくものでした。それで言語をテーマにした動画をお届けしたいと思い、あれこれ考えてみて、今回はゴンドールの地に埋め込まれた、忘れられた言語に光を当てました（十分にはわからないのですが）。 主に未邦訳の文献を参考にしているので、おもしろい話もあると思います。お時間のある時にごゆるりとご覧いただけたらうれしいです。

For this #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing a symptomatology #embroidery, body map (2016), in which I stitched my #MECFS symptoms freehand over a few months. ME/CFS affects mostly women, and the symptoms are often ignored or not taken seriously because of medical misogyny. #SciArt

Happy 34th anniversary to the original Sailor Moon anime! #SailorMoon #セーラームーン

Idea for Tolkien podcast or webcomic mocking & satirizing the manosphere bullshit but using the three middle Fëanorians. We’d have the gym bro (Tyelkormo), the financial advisor/hustle culture obsessor (Carnistir), and the creepy pickup artist (Atarincë/Curufin). 💀💀💀 Call that shit “Fresh & Fey” 🤣

Latest podcast episode with @mercuryreads.bsky.social and it is a nerdy, hopeful, and fun one! 🤘🏼 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Still dealing with the aftermath of flood plus unemployment has ended and I still am out of work. Literally anything at all helps. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ne...

Guyver Unit plush for its 40th anniversary celebration 🤣 More than a little sad that this is the first spring in two years that I’m not in Osaka :(

If you’re a fan of Maitimo Russandol Nelyafinwë/Maedhros, the last section displays how the loss of his hand is tied up with Ñoldorin kingship. open.substack.com/pub/davidthe...

I wish more people would actually boycott SCREAM 7 and stay home this weekend just to send a message. But I know that's asking too much. The masses are pacified by *content* fed to them by the fascist machine.

Arafinwë:

Arafinwë/Finarfin’s actual thoughts after hearing the Doom of Mandos:

Does not conform to such simplistic roles. For an introduction, I recommend two books read together, ONWARD TO OUR NOBLE DEATHS and KITARO. The give a taste of the different flavors of Mizuki. If you enjoy those, you can move on to his larger works like Showa: A History of Japan.

If there are two things I wish I could educate the world on: 1) Shigeru Mizuki was a genius, and one of the greatest artists and philosophers to ever come out of Japan 2 Shonen Knife is one of the greatest bands of all time and their existence makes the world a better place.

INTO THE UNBEING is two-volume journey through an eldritch whalefall. For fans of Alien, Annihilation, and Scavenger's Reign. 4 climate scientists on the Australian outback discover a sprawling alien corpse. They go inside to explore & are immediately trapped. From me + @cleanlined.bsky.social

Given my full-time job, I’m likely only gonna be able to complete one of these papers by May & to do them justice. But also don’t want to place whichever one I don’t do for WestMoot on the back burner despite the need to.

No cheating your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist.

If you would’ve told me a year ago that they’d be translating Hana no Keiji (drawn by Tetsuo Hara of Fist of the North Star fame) into English, I wouldnt have believed you. Here’s hoping more Matsumoto Leiji & Go Nagai are next

For #TolkienTrewsday 3rd anniversary, here is my topic from my Tolkien Society Seminar talk 3 years ago! The seafaring king Aldarion's adoration toward Uinen reflects a mythical connection between Panembahan Senopati of Mataram kingdom and Javanese sea queen Kanjeng Ratu Kidul. 1/4 #TolkienTuesday

Update: I was able to get a hold of photos of the pages I needed since issue I needed is out of print.

Our next Shigeru Mizuki release is coming soon! THE DEFINITIVE YOKAI FIELD GUIDE. This was a personal request by Mizuki himself to have it translated, as he felt it was the culmination of his work. @dandq.bsky.social amzn.to/4rVYPC9

Five concerts you've seen with women lead singers Tsunami Bomb Naked Aggression Otoboke Beaver Second Lady The Fragile (The last two are some underrated but dope & talented bands in Osaka. Their music is on streaming services & y’all should def check them out).

Túrin Turambar did nothing wrong (in Lestanórë).

Sent an E-mail to the specified address to buy a copy of “Aiglos: Tolkienistic Almanac Special Issue 2” but the email bounced back. Any one in Tolkien sphere can put me in contact with someone from that group to buy it or have an English language copy of it they can loan me?
